hi and welcome to ACL,
the best thing to do is to read the 101 manual then read it again and again.... drop into chat and ask your questions. Lots of helpful knowledgable people there although they are all very busy at this time of year

Welcome to ACL fellow SE Melbourner! I was just down your way yesterday.
Plenty of friendly and helpful folks around these parts so feel free to ask as many questions as you have in order to get your head around it all. Keep notes of ideas you might want to replicate yourself next year.
